SICK’S ON A MISSION TO DEMYSTIFY MACHINE VISION A
t the 2019 UKIVA Show in Milton Keynes, SICK will show how machine vision is being demystified for a growing number of adopters, backed by greater accessibility to ‘all-in-
presentations to delegates that put the case for removing the complexity that can surround implementing a vision solution, empowering users to set up vision systems, including more difficult 3D applications, with ease. “Machine vision has been a headache too far for many engineers looking to improve their
production or materials handling processes with better standards of inspection. Programming a reliable system to process the data from a vision camera has been feared in the past as something of a black art,” says Sandhu who is SICK’s UK Product Manager for Imaging, Measurement & Ranging. “But now rapid advancements in camera technology combined with intelligent on-board
processing capability have brought high-performance applications within the reach of many production teams who would previously have felt excluded from them. So, the time has come to present a more accessible and democratised outlook for vision in future and to encourage more users to enjoy the benefits.”
Technology demonstrations
SICK’s technology demonstrations at the Show will underline the company’s ambition for intelligent devices like the Inspector P 2D and the Trispector 1000 3D smart vision sensors to work in a similar way to smart phones powering ready-made applications that are easy to set up and use, selected via a central cloud-based repository of industry solutions.
